I have decided to write about myself even though I feel it's a tiny bit narcissistic. The artifact that I have created is my own literary work a book named "Purged: Cleansing of the Spirit" under my pen name Victory Hale.

Even a dog has a name.” These words perfectly depict one of the worst moments in the history of the world: The Holocaust.
“Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, which was on Easter Sunday. Adolf was one of four children but none of the other children lived past two years of age. After Adolf was born, his mom, Klara, had two more kids who did live to be older than two. Adolf’s mom, Klara, had been traumatized by the death of her first three children, causing her to go crazy”.
